IBM Corporation is a leading cloud technology provider across the full stack of cloud computing. The company offers cloud services through public, private, and hybrid cloud delivery models. For instance, the IBM Bluemix Platform as a Service permits developers to create complex websites by using the pay-as-you-go model. IBM has adopted various organic strategies to strengthen its position in the global cloud technology market. For instance, it launched IBM Cloud AMM -migration service, a cloud and on-premises workload image migration service. It also invested a substantial amount of its annual revenue in Research and Development (R&D) activities. As part of its organic strategy, the company increased its R&D investment from 5.86% in 2014 to 6.42% in 2015. However, IBM’s long-term strategy is focused on inorganic growth strategy, such as mergers & acquisitions and partnerships & agreements, to further capitalize its market share in every business segment it operates. Recently, IBM partnered with CSC, VMware, and Tractor Supply Company, which implies that the company would be adopting the inorganic growth approach to strengthen its market leading position in cloud computing and target all upcoming and developing economies to bring cloud-based transformation in those regions.
